Many people are afraid to embrace religion, for fear they shall not succeed in maintaining it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

God has intended the great to...

God has intended the great to be great and the little to be little ... The trade unions, under the European system, destroy liberty ... I do not mean to say that a dollar a day is enough to support a workingman ... not enough to support a man and five children if he insists on smoking and drinking beer. But the man who cannot live on bread and water is not fit to live! A family may live on good bread and water in the morning, water and bread at midday, and good bread and water at night!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The superfluous blossoms on a...

The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things.

What is the Bible in your house? It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John; it is the Gospel according to William; it is the Gospel according to Mary; it is the Gospel according to Henry and James; it is the Gospel according to your name. You write your own Bible.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

John Wesley quaintly observed that the road to heaven is a narrow path, not intended for wheels, and that to ride in a coach here and to go to heaven hereafter, was a happiness too much for man.

Christians should be like a flower store: the odor of sanctity should betray them wherever they are.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Children are the hands by whi...

Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. By these tendrils we clasp it and climb thitherward. And why do we think that we are separated from them? We never half knew them, nor in this world could.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There are many trials in life...

There are many trials in life which do not seem to come from unwisdom or folly; they are silver arrows shot from the bow of God, and fixed inextricably in the quivering heart - they are meant to be borne - they were not meant, like snow or water, to melt as soon as they strike; but the moment an ill can be patiently borne it is disarmed of its poison, though not of its pain.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Nature holds an immense uncol...

Nature holds an immense uncollected debt over every man's head.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Education will not come of it...

Education will not come of itself; it will never come unless you seek it; it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it; but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Love is not a possession but ...

Love is not a possession but a growth. The heart is a lamp with just oil enough to burn for an hour, and if there be no oil to put in again its light will go out. God's grace is the oil that fills the lamp of love.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The grossest, the cruelest, the most selfish, the most easily pervertible and perverted thing in this world, is government.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It's not work that kills [people], it is worry.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It takes a man to make a devil; and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.

Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law

Reading is a dissuasion from immorality. Reading stands in the place of company.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Mirth is God's medicine. Ever...

Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it. Grim care, moroseness, anxiety,--all this rust of life, ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. It is better than emery. Every man ought to rub himself with it. A man without mirth is like a wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it runs.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.

A mother has, perhaps, the hardest earthly lot; and yet no mother worthy of the name ever gave herself thoroughly for her child who did not feel that, after all, she reaped what she had sown.
